Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity) is an intrinsic property that quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current. A lowresistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.

The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor. The inverse quantity is electrical conductance, the ease with which an electric current passes.The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor.
